Ginkgos were thought to be extinct until a small population was found in China that monks had been tending. Now they are common, smog-resistant street trees.<br /><br />If you buy a Ginkgo, you may want to spend the extra few bucks for a grafted male specimen. With a seedling you have a 50% chance of getting a female with VERY stinky fruit.Greg Sweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086407464173685145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-66834351690664691012009-12-12T12:26:29.827-08:002009-12-12T12:26:29.827-08:00Oooh, aaah!Oooh, aaah!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331108175137673106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-17589299318646418332009-12-12T11:39:00.287-08:002009-12-12T11:39:00.287-08:00Thanks, all.
